Ingredients

1kg pitted dates, chopped
395g tin condensed milk
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups self-raising flour
1 cup walnuts, roughly chopped

Method

Step 1

Preheat oven to 140C conventional. Grease a deep 20cm square cake tin and line with two layers of baking paper.
Step 2

Place dates in a saucepan with 3 cups water. Bring to the boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 4 minutes. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and leave to cool slightly.
Step 3

Stir condensed milk and eggs into the boiled date mixture. Fold through flour and walnuts. Pour batter into cake tin and smooth the top.
Step 4

Bake for 1 3/4 hours until a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean. Cover with foil if the top is browning too quickly.
Step 5

Serve sliced with butter or warm custard.
